Today over on TeamLiquid and /r/Starcraft, eSport personality and all around great guy Day[9] announced that he and Red Bull are teaming up for a series of LAN event’s in order to train players for the 2012 season.
The overview from the press release covers what the event is:
- Twelve top pro SC2 gamers from some of the biggest SC2 teams on the planet will unite in Orlando at Full Sail University to practice and prepare for the 2012 tournament season.
- Four SC2 invitees will be the “Focus Players” for the event. The LAN will explore their personalities, their personal stories, their strengths and weaknesses, and how they’re training to improve.
- Each Focus Player will have a personalized “Challenge” to help him reach his SC2 goals and address gameplay issues.
- The remaining eight gamers will be “Training Players.” They’ll help the Focus Players in their Challenges as well as train for their own upcoming tournaments.
- The final day will culminate in a mini-tournament to crown the best of the Red Bull LAN: Orlando.
Spring training? ESPN2 coverage? RED BULL? It seems like Starcraft will be the next big thing for us geeks to follow around.
